It is often an uphill battle for fashion brands to be accepted by watch enthusiasts, but Bulgari has thoroughly proven their dedication to the segment with everything from ultra high-end complications to more down-to-earth and practical luxury watches such as the Bulgari Diagono Scuba. New for summer 2017 are several different colors of Bulgari’s sportiest […]

Did you happen to notice that in the 2016 Captain America: Civil War movie (that I actually just saw a few days ago) Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark character – Iron Man – wears both a smartwatch and a traditional one? Yeah, it might seem like a nerdy thing to point out, but I wouldn’t dismiss the […]

It used to be all about tourbillons and minute repeaters and complex chronographs, but if there is one genuinely useful complication that has been getting more attention from luxury watch brands lately, then it is the dual time zone display. The latest, and one of the most comprehensive additions to the ever-growing family of multiple time […]

Welcome to Point/Counterpoint, an aBlogtoWatch column where two of our resident horological aficionados duke it out over a point of contention. Last time, we debated over “Conservative or Personal Choice As First Nice Watch,” and now Ariel Adams and James Stacey spar over so-called “fashion house” watches.

Cars and watches have a lot in common, so it is little wonder that tie-ins between the two worlds are so popular. Watchmakers and automakers have collaborated for quite a while now.

For 2017, Bulgari adds a new flavor to its popular Octo watch collection with the new Bulgari Octo Roma. At first glance, you’d be totally forgiven for not knowing that it is new or exactly what is new about it. Despite having a new case and dial, the magic Bulgari wanted to lend to the […]

A discreet and classy luxury diving watch should be an absolute requirement for any well-rounded timepiece collection, in my own personal opinion. In fact, I have many diving watches to choose from when deciding what to wear, and I find it interesting to analyze the choices I make. This brings me to our review of […]

The octagon: ancient yet timeless, simple yet complex, common yet unique. These are some rather impressive attributes not just for a geometric shape but for… well… anything, really. It should be no wonder, then, that one of the most highly praised watch designers of all time, a certain Gerald Genta, also preferred to use this polygon in a fair […]

Special aBlogtoWatch Content for Bulgari Finer details of watchmaking, including different finishing techniques and proprietary movement construction solutions are very much common knowledge among watch enthusiasts. Haute joaillerie, or “high jewelry,” on the other hand, is a more rarely discussed element in these circles, even though it is very much an integral part of some of the finest […]
